Bryston SP1.7 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
REAR PANEL INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
1. Balanced and 2. Unbalanced Outputs
The SP1.7 offers both balanced (5.1) and unbalanced (7.1) outputs for power amplifiers or powered loudspeaker
systems. The type you select to use will be determined by the input configuration of your amplifiers or self-
powered loudspeakers.
NOTE: XLR and RCA connectors can be simultaneously utilized. (Example - Surround fill channels)
Back channel(s) are only available from the RCA outputs.
3. Analog Inputs
A paired stereo analog input with gold RCA jacks (labeled L and R, for Left and Right) is provided for each
source button on the front panel.
The sensitivity of these Inputs is set to the industry standard of 2 Vrms, which should accommodate the vast
majority of available source components. In Bypass mode, the input sensitivity is equivalent to the BP-25
preamplifier.
A 5.1 channel analog input is also provided on 6 RCA connectors. This is typically used for Multi-channel
DVD-Audio, SACD, or external processors. In Bypass 5.1ch mode, the signal from the 5.1 channel analog
inputs (RCA) will be routed through the volume controls and to their respective outputs, balanced and
unbalanced. No bass management is available with the 5.1ch bypass mode.
4. Digital Audio Coaxial Inputs
The TV/SAT, DVD, CD, and AUX front panel selectable sources are also supplied with a standard SPDIF gold
RCA jack digital audio input. These four inputs will accept any standard SPDIF source including DAT, CDR and
similar components.
